Steve Richards, 56, watching the Wales vs Australia match in his local pub The Black Diamond. Steve lost £30k on the match. A punter who won more than £30,000 on a football accumulator has been left red faced after losing his winnings just DAYS later - on another bet. Steve Richards, 56, placed a £10 bet and was rewarded with £39,000 after successfully predicting the results of 12 football matches. The roofing contractor decided to pocket just £9,000 of his winnings and placed the remaining £30,000 on a bet that Wales would beat Australia in the rugby on Saturday. Australia's 30-26 victory meant that Mr Richards lost the staggering £30,000 he placed on the bet, as well as the £25,000 he stood to gain.
